    But he isn't, he can head the ball and put in a decent tackle but goes to pieces with the ball at his feet if someone gets into him. It was evident against a few teams last year (most notably Everton) and was seen again last weekend, for a team that want to play the ball around and out from the back it is not a good way to be.

    I was over the moon when we signed a player who captained PSG at 20 years old and was France's first choice centreback.

    Then I saw Sakho play, and my eyebrow ended up on top of my head. How could a player who looked this awkward on the ball have shot to those heights at such a young age?

    Well it's because he does the job, including passing, exceptionally well. I still don't like that it's not pretty to watch at times, but it's as effective as effective gets. That's why his former club and country gave him those roles and he cost a fair bit of cash to buy.

    He's basically an ugly 7 seater MPV with 700 horsepower that does 0-60 in 4 seconds.

    The slip was the defining moment in the title race. It was especially hilarious due to who was the perpetrator and what he'd said in the huddle post the victory against City that he felt was the title deciding moment

    It was the most epic of epic fails.

    Sorry, forgot the passing bit. He can play a very good pass (and usually forward) when given time.

    Titles aren't lost by one moment in a season. If we'd won a game we drew earlier in the year or drew a game we lost etc...

    Stevie was the last man on the halfway line. You think the WHOLE TEAM took it upon themselves to attack that high up?

    So what's the point of having a manager then if players are going to do what they want?

    We lost the title because we conceded 50 odd goals. A quality DM instead of Gerrard and we would have walked the league.

    Liverpool are lucky to have Brendan Rodgers... he could have taken over at Real Madrid, believes Tim Sherwood
    • Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood is full of praise for Brendan Rodgers
    • The Liverpool boss is under significant pressure from some Reds fans
    • Sherwood says Liverpool are lucky to have the Northern Irishman
    • He believes, if Liverpool had won the Premier League title in 2013-14, Rodgers could have taken over at La Liga giants Real Madrid

    This is Sherwood taking the mick. The reality is that Rodgers was one goal away from the sack. <ok>
